My little buttercups

Bibby,
Yesterday you got me to put you on the swing at the park and give you a big push. I went to go check on Virginia and as I was walking back I noticed you were still swinging just as high as when I left-----you were pumping all on your own!!!! I was so excited then it hit me.......one more step to complete independence. I know that is what I am raising you to be, your own independent woman I just wish you would slow down the process. Everyday I see these days of complete and utter excitement because you found a lady bug or begging me to play with you or picking another handful of beautiful weeds flowers and having to find the perfect vase or still thinking your little sister is a good playmate are coming to an end!!!! This, my most favorite era is coming to an end. Just tonight you told me that while you and some friends were playing barbie you named yours Katie because she had brown hair like your cousin Katie and the other barbies in the group were Taylor Swift and the most "popularist" girl. Of course when I asked you what popular meant you had no clue........you will one day. Just know you will always be the "most popularist" in my book.

We were actually early for dance....

so I took a few shots of you two in your tu-tu's. I have to say it is a sight I hope I never forget. You two are loving dance. Every morning Virginia, you ask, "It Friday dance day?"

An afternoon with my Bopper

Bibby,
It was the most gorgeous day and you kept asking to go outside. I actually dropped all the chores (while Virginia slept) and we went in the front yard and just played. I let you take the lead and boss me around and tell me which girl I was going to be and where I was going and if the horse was going to be mine or not. I really couldn't take my eyes off of you. The way the sun was hitting your hair it was amazing. Your friends have been making fun of you lately saying you have "orange hair" and you have been upset. When I was sitting there looking at you it was gorgeous and I knew that one day you would appreciate how unique it was. We have definitely hit the phase where I am embarrassing to you. So of course when I was making my girl have a British accent you kept telling me to be quiet because someone may hear me. I love my time with you.
